I guess you could say that Christ-centered homemaking is my passion. I have been doing it as my full-time job for the past 35 years. Truthfully, I have loved homemaking and have “strongly disliked” certain aspects of it at the same time. But one thing is for sure, I have learned a lot along the way. One of the most important aspects of homemaking is to keep a steady flow of creativity in the mix. When the daily tasks start to run to the mundane, it is time to pause and incorporate activities that allow for my natural bent in artistry that has kept me happy and fulfilled. I am excited to share with you my picks for the Top 10 Homemaking Books ever!
Books have kept my imagination flowing and supplied me with plenty of new and improved ideas. This year I have read more BEAUTIFUL, INSPIRING, and HELPFUL books than I can remember reading in recent years. Maybe the tide is turning, being a homemaker may just be coming back into fashion!

Homemaking is one of my greatest joys in life. As the amazing C. S. Lewis wrote, “The homemaker has the ultimate career. All other careers exist for one purpose only – and that is to support the ultimate career.”. I completely agree, without the biblical homemaker, we can have an epidemic of unparented children, a tendency to eat unhealthy processed foods, and after years of inattention to the home and the people who live there, ultimately civilizations crumble. Homemaking has a vibrancy from which beauty is created and enjoyed!

Those look great! I have been meaning to read Little House Living’s book for awhile. I’ll have to check it out. I read The Nesting Place last year and enjoyed it, as well as Bread and Wine. They both inspired me!
